Home Sweet Home

I had an amazing visit home last week, and got to spend lots of quality time with my fam and Ash.  It rained the day I got there, but it was perfect weather the rest of the week!  I ate my weight in shrimp, crab dip, and cupcakes, and worked on making some adorable baby shower gifts with the help of my mom.  My dad had been scheduled to be out of town for the week, but was able to come home early!  It was a GREAT surprise, and I'm so glad it worked out to see him.  I also was able to see my brother's new office at his work, and even got to sit in on a court trial for a felony case!  I felt like I was on Law and Order - it was so dramatic!
Here are some pics from the week!!
Welcome sign for me!  :)

Dinner the first night -- shrimp with bowtie pasta....delish.


Paula Deen's Chocolate cupcakes for dessert - yum.


Dad's home!  On the way to play some tennis :)

Fashion Friday - Lovely Looks

Back from a WONDERFUL trip back home filled with lots of great quality time spent w/ the fam and friends.  Will do a post on that soon, but for now....it's time for Fashion Friday! :)
Since I'm somewhat mentally drained from traveling, I decided to just share a few inspiring looks from the gorgeous gals of hollywood, who stepped out in some snazzy outfits this week.   

She's adorable and I love her berry-colored pout.

Love the simplicity of this black and white gown.

Another GORGEOUS look from Olivia - so classic and chic.

Young and fresh - I really like the details of this dress.

In love with this lace dress -- and sweet Taylor pulls it off so well.

I want to copy this entire outfit down to the shoes.

Happy Friday lovely bloggers!!!

Fashion Friday - Fair Isle

We've started to see this Fair Isle look as soon as the temperatures dropped below 70, and the fabric seems to be everywhere!  It is definitately a look that is perfect for cool winter nights, weekends spent at the lake,  lounging by a roaring fire, with a cup of hot chocolate in one hand, and a good book in the other. 
Here are a few pretty fair isle items that are oh-so-cozy.
